Brahms began work on the piece in 1878 and completed it in 1881 while in Pressbaum near Vienna. It took him three years to work on this concerto which indicates that he was always self-critical. He wrote to Clara Schumann: \"I want to tell you that I have written a very small piano concerto with a very small and pretty scherzo.\" Ironically, he was describing a huge piece. This concerto is dedicated to his teacher, Eduard Marxsen. The public premiere of the concerto was given in Budapest on 9 November 1881, with Brahms as soloist and the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, and was an immediate success. He proceeded to perform the piece in many cities across Europe. \/\/ Label: Telarc – CD-80197 Format: CD, Album Country: USA Released: 1989 Genre: Classical Style: Romantic \/\/\/ Tracklist: Piano Concerto No. 2 In B-flat Major, Op.83 1 Allegro non troppo 17:31 2 Allegro appassionato 9:15 3 Andante 12:59 4 Allegretto Grazioso 9:30 Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn for Orchestra, Op. 56a (18:19) 5.1 Chorale St. Antoni: Andante 2:01 5.2 Variation I: Poco Piú Animato 1:21 5.3 Variation II: Piú vivace 1:09 5.4 Variation III Con Moto 1:52 5.5 Variation IV: Andante con moto 1:58 5.6 Variation V: Vivace 0:54 7 Variation VI: VIvace 1:21 5.8 Variation VII: Grazioso 2:49 5.9 Variation Vii: Presto Non Troppo 1:03 5.10 Finale - Andante 3:44 Conductor – André Previn Orchestra – The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Piano – Horacio Gutiérrez (tracks: 1-4)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000003CVN\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000003CVN.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brahms, Johannes|Previn, Andre|Gutierrez, Horacio|Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
